A year agoSK Gaming qualifies for ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals
Daniel Wagner

The results of ESL Pro League Season 6 are set in stone and our squad finished in a respectable second seat which grants us a spot at the LAN Finals in Odense, Denmark at the beginning of December. Our Brazilians could have ended up at the top of the scoreboard but had to forfeit their deciding matches against OpTic Gaming due to competing for the Brazilian WESG qualifier.

Normally, the qualification is all that matters but this time finishing in the first place has the benefit of getting to start the new seeding system of this year’s ESL Pro League edition and avoiding an opponent of choice by putting him in the opposite group. To start off the formation of the groups, the first seeded leaders of OpTic Gaming and Fnatic are split into two different pools and get to select an opponent that they want to place in the other group. Once this step is completed, the two teams who have already been selected can vote two rosters in the different group themselves. This procedure will be repeated until no participant is left and the first stage of the tournament is determined.

The constellation of these rosters and the new compilation of the groups guarantee top Counter Strike and it will be exciting to see how our players will perform against the competition. The teams have put in two months of hard work into the qualification process and all their efforts will culminate in the Sparekassen Fyn Arena where the winner of the event will get the majority of the 750,000 Dollar prize pool.
